Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on October 19, 1986)

Happy birthday, Daniel Descalso! You're officially sliding into another year smoother than that incredible slide home in Game 6 of the unforgettable 2011 World Series. Cardinals fans everywhere are still celebrating your clutch hits and golden glove flashes; some legends age like fine wine—you seem to be keeping pace with a perfectly broken-in baseball mitt.

Whether you're flashing tricky defensive moves or delivering timely postseason magic for St. Louis—and later lending those talents elsewhere—your career stays timelessly awesome. Let's hope this birthday is filled with fewer curveballs off-speed cake slices, and more celebrations as sweet as your most clutch MLB moments!
